I trapped her pretty easily - she was hungry, and ensconced her in the back bathroom, away from the other cats. She didn't want anything to do with me until the kits were born - 4 of them on the 4th of July! That was in '07, and she has been inside with us ever since. She is still a feisty cat, follows me around like a dog, but will not do any lap sitting. Loves petting, having her belly rubbed but no laps! Her kittens all went to good forever homes, don't worry! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-362640 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:08:08 +0000 kittymom 362640@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Concats, CCM!!

Missy had a textbook pregnancy, in that she followed every step in the book I got to learn about kitty pregnancy. One thing we learned that we hadn't known was that in terms of heirarchy a pregnant female is the top cat, next is a nursing mother, then the oldest female. It was absolutely true in how Missy was treated by our other kitties. Two years ago we took in Mali a week before she delivered six kittens. This was the second litter we have had in our almost 30 years together. For both of them we took a large cardboard box and cut a front door the mama could easily step thru but the babies couldn't until they were several weeks old. That helped her contain her family and we could easily change the towels daily. Although they say kittens can be taken from their mothers at 8 weeks, the mama will nurse until 12 weeks when she pretty much calls it quits. By then the little one can eat solid food and function on their own. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-362365 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:00:53 +0000 katthays 362365@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh My!

I have only dealt with whelping puppies and that was a needy situation with the mom wanting us near her at all times while birthing. Can't wait to see the montage of the newest members of your household. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-362065 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:24:42 +0000 Buttercup 362065@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The two kitties that I had who had litters(one in high school and one about 15 years ago) started looking for places to nest. When they went into labor I could see the contractions on their sides and they were both very much determined not to let me out of their sight. I had to sit with both including the one who had 12(twelve) kittens. Their instincts took over after they started having kittens and the cleaned them and got them to nurse,I had to help the kitty who had 12 though(she was an outside kitty),I has to start helping her clean them off as she got tired and helped her feed them and we didn't lose any.<br /> I can't wait! :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-362047 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:54:56 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 362047@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww, that's sweet! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-362004 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:36:00 +0000 feral 362004@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>PJ...I had several litters born on TDK...I just didn't know where Miss Hissy was hiding them. I know...doesn't count. lol</p> <p>I must admit tho, that a part of me can't wait to see the pics of the little angel gobbies when they're born. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-361979 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:08:31 +0000 ILoveMyCats 361979@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leggs was my first for a pregnant kitty! I did some research and I remember feeding her Kitten Chow right before she had the babies. Ashe will need the extra protien and it should help her to not get to thin when nursing the babies. I stopped feeding it after they were weaned. I am excited for you and Ashe. Maybe when Ashe goes into labor...Penny will be a comfort to her since they have such a good relationship.<br /> PJ...When Leggs first went into labor...she got in the bed with me. I noticed that she was very, very restless. That was when I decided to relocate her. I'm glad I did!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-361964 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:45:50 +0000 paulajeanne 361964@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I had the lovely experience once of having a litter born in my bed! Was in college, visiting at an aunt's, and their cat BatCat decided to litter that night all nice and cozy in MY bed. She didn't make a sound, but their little mews woke me up. Was enchanted. My sheets were a bit messy though. Think my love affair with cats started that night! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-361962 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:39:09 +0000 Crazycatman - CA 361962@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ramble on ILMC!!! It's cool to hear others stories... I have pregnant dogs and bunnies, but this is my first pregnant cat. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-361959 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:32:35 +0000 ILoveMyCats 361959@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CCM...In the last stages of her pregnancy she stayed in my bedroom. She seemed to be more comfortable there and also became very attached to me. When she went into labor I fixed her a basket in our bathroom. I had the intentions of leaving her alone...thought she would do better...but she would try to follow me. I sit in the bathroom for 9 hours that day talking and comforting her. This was her one and only litter and you could tell she was scared because she didn't really know what was happening. Moe was born at 6 pm and Calli at 6:30 pm. But it was truly amazing to see how instinct took over and after Moe was born she knew exactly what to do. That was the last thing I wanted was for her to get pregnant but sometimes it happens and I tried to make the best of the situation. I went from 3 cats to 5 in a day and I still have all of them! It is an amazing thing to experience. Sorry for rambling this is more than what you were asking. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15954#post-361947 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:18:20 +0000 GreatDane 361947@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We're all going to be Aunties and Uncles!!!!! :) </p>
